Ricard Lloria's insight:

Hey Everyone -- I was recently interviewed by business author and recognized expert on CEO peer groups, Ric Franzi, for his executive radio show.

 

The interview is 30 minutes long and Ric asked some great questions -- like "what's the difference between a storytelling and a story doing company?"

 

Enjoy the insights I share here, and subscribe to Ric's radio show. There's a ton of great information he and his speakers share with the world.

How To Create The Culture You Want With Stories

How To Create The Culture You Want With Stories | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
What stories are told in your organization today? Are you aware of them? Do they reinforce your desired culture or do they inspire undesired actions?
Ricard Lloria's insight:

The author of this article, S. Chris Edmonds, shares a few incredibly important points for leaders sharing stories. The first one is that stories help guide behavior. Tell the wrong stories and you'll be sorry.

 

On the other hand, if a leader knows the right stories to share, the bottom line increases. Gotta love that. Makes you wonder why more CEOs are paying attention this. And if you are a CEO who does -- yay!

 

I will also point out that sharing stories is not enough. Rewards and acknowledgement are critical for success. You'll see what I mean when you read the article.

 

What I also really like in this post are the 2 stories Edmonds shares to make his point. Not only are they good stories, they drive home the advice he brings to the table. Enjoy.
